What do you mean, im neither a fan of city nor a fan of united, I just call it like it is, if you cant deal with the negative you support the wrong club, try supporting a rugby club instead.

That's the problem Watcher, you constantly call it like it is, wrongly. And it's boring. In fact it has been boring for quite a while. I/we get your.....(fill in as appropriate) Nobody is interested TBH. If you're not going to contribute in a positive and worthwhile manner to City related topics/threads, don't bother. Save your petty bitching and sniping for another topic/thread.

As I mentioned on BM, I can stand the £1300+VAT option as long I can pay quarterly/monthly. I wouldn't move though because I am in a group of about 20 or possibly more members of Bredbury Blues Supporters Club Branch in 201 - it would have to be a group decision I think. And standing is a PITA as I'm a shortarse - much prefer to be sat on my squishy seat

Fair enough Steve.

Take it you picked up on the interest free monthly payments mentioned on the first email survey?

Im making a serious point, why do you think THEY selected Emirates as their own point of reference?

Youve proved it JRB, youve proved your inablity to take negatives, taken a criticism of poor viewing at Munich stadium as a personal insult on your beloved club. Are you forgetting this is an architecture forum not a football supporters forum?

How does a picture of the Allianz Arena relate to the expansion of the Etihad and any new sightlines? It's just a small/poor picture. A stadium with a 3rd tier. A vauge comparison included in the email survey.(people like pictures) Nothing else. Yet you felt the need/urge to pick up on that minor detail, rather than looking at the bigger picture of the stadium expansion as a whole. Hence the thread.

And once again.......

Quote:

Also significant that Etihad use Emirates stadium accomdation as example? Dont want to be outdone?

Comparisons will always be looked at and used. Where do you think the model for the new training academy came from? Exactly, from numerous other training acadamies around the world, which officials of the club visited.

Tell you what Watcher. When the details of the stadium expansion finally emerge, you can pull every and any negative you want about it, and how it relates to other stadia. Until then.....

I have been redoing my Google Sketchup Model based on the Survey Diagram that shows City are looking to use all the space on the ends at the third tier level without touching the roof.

I think this is ALL they can do without starting on the roof - the word on BM is that expansion is a two stage affair; first fill the corners/ends under the roof to get to c60,000; and then a full scale roof off extra tier 80,000 monster :-)

Now that really would be awesome! Just a quick before and after I did showing what the 60,000 version could look like.

I can't see them filling the corners at the top of Level 2 with boxes because the space isn't deep enough and possibly, this might be the way out for those in the new 3rd tier - steps down to here from which they then leave through the staircases either side of the existing boxes sat ontop of tier 2

WZ - having received the same survey as jrb and Disco - they used pictures from various sports stadia around the world to illustrate their various options - probably the closest match from a large library of available pictures to the changes that were being proposed

I'm not so sure either - maybe they'll pull the front edge forward a bit more - my renders assumed the overhang (3rd tier front edge over top of 2nd tier & boxes) to be the same as the sides.

Rags did get an extra 7,000 in just two corners in the last Swamp Expansion and this is 4 corners and across each end too, so who knows...
